The Complexities Of Launching Aion on Gamasutra talks with Brian Knox of
NCsoft Seattle, asking the producer on the western version of Aion about
its launch. They discuss the global nature of the game, the departure from other
MMOG's Aion represents, what represents "western" gameplay, localization, the
game's emphasis on storytelling, and much more. Also,
Massively reports a new patch is live in Aion that prevents players from
whispering until they reach level 5. This is a temporary measure to thwart gold
farmers until a more permanent solution is devised.
